I'm 21, but I've never been able to remember which way is left and which way is right.
If I think about it for a moment then I'll know but if someone suddenly commands 'turn left/right!' or 'it's on your left/right!' then I'll just get it wrong every time.
Hold up your hand with your thumb and index finger extended. The one that looks like an L is left. Practice all time because it's a pretty important skill to have.
just try an rememeber the right is the hand you write with and visa versa if you are a lefty
I have the same issue! I'm dyslexic though I also have issues if someone asked me a letter I have to go through the alphabet to know what the next letter is.. It's very common
I'm 28 and I still get a bit confused but the thing that helped me best was learning to drive.
There are many correlations between dyslexia, ambidexterity, and left-right confusion. I don't suffer dyslexia, but I am fairly ambidextrous and my left-right confusion is legendary. Anyone who knows me well and needs me to move somewhere quickly just points where they want me to go.
And I can't tell you how many people have lost their temper when they've asked me to act at navigator in a car, even though I tell them it really isn't going to work. It's like they think I'm putting it on as a private joke. Which, to be fair, is the kind of thing I'd do. But in this case, it's real.
I've gradually found ways of dealing with it. Hope you do too.
